Snow accumulation at higher elevations force Mule Deer into the lower Columbia River Valley, where they can feed on grass. Douglas-fir, saskatoon and willows for the winter.
One of the Mule Deer’s most distinct features is its big "mule-like" ears. Each ear rotates independently like a scanning radar. Without this early warning system, the Mule Deer could not detect as easily the rustle of a cougar slipping up from behind.
